This year's Seeds of Change was a big success! Over 500 donors, activists, grantees and friends of Crossroads Fund gathered on Friday, February 29th at the Chicago Cultural Center to celebrate another year's work for social change.

We were proud to present the Ron Sable Award for Activism to a group and an individual whose work is making a difference with young people in communities by addressing racial, social and economic justice: Dr. Cathy J. Cohen and Metropolitan Area Group for Igniting Civilization, Inc. (MAGIC).

We were also honored to present the inaugural Donald F. Erickson Synapses Award to the Coalition Against War & Injustice.

Thank you to all who attended and supported Seeds of Change!

There's still time to support the event and push us over our goal of $100,000!
